Well Dad's "brief trip to A&E" turned into less of a visit and more of a... two and a half day stay in hospital. After spending Friday evening in A&E to fix his thumb, Dad called with the bad news; the hospital had made the break worse! There was talk of needing to wire the bones in place and it was decided Dad should stay the night at Pembury.
This morning came the news that Dad's phone was running out of battery and we were left with the Orthopaedic Consultant planning on taking a look at some point during the morning, and they will take it apart today (or next week) and either manipulate or wire it.
He also said that the surgical team were going to do spleen and kidney function tests and a CT scan as well.
Then ... we didn't hear from him for the rest of the day!
Around 20:00 we managed to track him down to find that he was in transit from Pembury to Maidstone Hospital, where tomorrow he will see a urologist specialist!
Mum is going to visit hm at the crack of dawn tomorrow, so when she comes back I'll hopefully have some more information for you all!
Once again, a massive thank you to all of the well-wishers and everyone who has offered us support; it has really made this whole week so much easier.
So pleased he is back and getting sorted out. and well within radio contact. Please let us know when he is ready to receive visitors :)
